Hi Nicola.
Thank you for your enquiry on our website. I personally would not be inclined to overspend on teenage boys beds. The crucial part of your purchase is longevity and so maximum protection will be key. The Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 will be an ideal choice. This offers a medium spring tension, which at your son's body weight would give him the correct level of support.
Bodyweight | Spring tension |
---|---|
Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
Another thing to note is that The Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 is a two-sided mattress. Placing this directly onto the slats will cause indentations to the underside upholstery. This will cause a lumpy feel to the mattress. A sheet of foam or old duvet will add the cushioning required. If the space between the slats is greater than 3 inches we would recommend boarding them over with a cheap piece of MDF or Plywood to prevent damage to the mattress.
If you would like any further information please call the office on 0161 437 4419. Our office hours are 8 am - 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am - 8 pm Saturday and Sunday.
Kind Regards
